Jack went back yesterday and Toby had his first secondary school day today and boy was he excited - despite the early start to walk to the bus, not relying on me to remember things, learning how to do a tie! and not returning till 4.30 each day. We took a photograph of him in exactly the same spot as we did when he first went to school 7 years ago - how time flies.
I'm really looking forward to his return and the success of accomplishing so many 'firsts'
Anyway, with the onset of chilly mornings, I thought I would customise an old denim jacket. I've had it the best part of a decade and really wanted to jazz it up a little.
I sewed a CK patch I've had for a while on the arm
and with some Liberty print bias binding I then sewed this around the cuffs.
and then round the bottom edge
I'm pretty pleased with the overall look and has given my old jacket a new lease of life.

Have a great weekend!

I remember back to school and the taking of the photos in the new uniform, and the tieing of ties etc. They grow so quickly! (My sons now range from 26, 28 and 30yrs)
I like what you have done with your jacket

Hope your boys settle well into a new school year. A big step secondary school! We are starting school runs and days next week! Its going to be very strange after such a lot of family time together.
Love your customized jacket. Really pretty. Just the thing for those chilly mornings.
